Digital transformation is a critical part of an enterprise business strategy. However, for many organizations, having more digital assets introduces major headaches due to the complexity of technologies, the lack of available and affordable skills and the ever-changing security threat landscape. The ability to use cloud based solutions to service digital strategies is helping reduce costs but is also increasing risks, isolating data and reducing controls.

Many MSPs have recognized this as an opportunity and are building business plans and service strategies to help their customers. Being the one-stop shop for applications, cloud services and related security aspects is a path that is actively being trodden by MSP’s, MSSP’s and traditional resellers alike. According to 451 Research, it is about a “sell with” approach by addressing business requirements with security “built-in”. In this joint webinar, our guest William Fellows, 451 Research analyst will provide new research results this related data points and discuss how the cloud is creating opportunities as well as challenges. The interactive Q&A style webinar will cover:

• A current view of the cloud’s impact on digital transformation
• Opportunities for MSPs to expand service portfolios and generate new revenue streams
• What a true “sell with” partnership looks like
• Technology enabling this new sales and marketing strategy for MSPs

Increased cloud adoption plus the growth of IoT-enabled devices are accelerating the transformation of how healthcare is delivered. While improving patient services these new technologies add potential vulnerabilities from the increasingly porous perimeter that IT must secure. Securing every digital touchpoint is crucial to delivering safe and connected healthcare services from medical device OEMs, HDOs, EHRs and patients across the networks, data and devices they rely on.

In this webinar, you will learn more about:
• A real-life use case on how a leading provider partnered to successfully secure devices with IoT and the Cloud
• Current and proposed cyber security regulations for healthcare
• How effective key management is a vital component to ensure device security throughout their lifecycle
• Code signing with Cloud or on-premise HSMs prevents software update tampering
• Protecting data in use, at rest and in motion from the device to the cloud and back with advanced encryption
• How MFA ensures the right people have access to sensitive data stored on-premises or in the cloud

As mid-sized and large organizations move to cloud based delivery for software, infrastructure and storage, hybrid environments are the de-facto reality. Perimeter security schemes no longer meet the security challenges of distributed software and application delivery, leading CISOs to try and mesh disparate solutions, or worse knowingly compromise on protection. Join Gemalto to hear best practices for applying consistent and effective access security and strong authentication to both on-prem and cloud apps.

New data tells us that companies are making progress when it comes to securing the Internet of Things and the data it produces, but there is still a long way to go in order to secure the projected 20 billion connected devices by 2023. In order to assess the current state of affairs, Gemalto recently surveyed 950 IT and business decision makers around the world with awareness of IoT in their organization. Some of the results were encouraging, while others were less so.

According to the global survey, security is clearly an emerging priority. Companies are now devoting 13 percent of their IoT budgets to security, up from 11 percent last year. Ninety percent said they believe security is a major consideration for their customers and 97 percent believe that a strong approach to IoT security is a key competitive differentiator.

In addition to these data findings from the global study, this webinar will discuss:
•The top technologies companies are utilizing to secure IoT infrastructure and data
•Which countries are most advanced when it comes to the security of IoT
•What companies think about the role of government regulation on IoT security
•Which companies in the IoT ecosystem are most responsible for the security of data
•Are companies adopting Security by Design when it comes to IoT products and services
•What role will technologies like Blockchain play in IoT Security

Following the webinar, attendees will receive a free copy of the global IoT Security report as well as other research and white papers on IoT security.

Security and risk management professionals face ever-increasing needs to encrypt various types of sensitive data stored on-premises, in private and public clouds and in hybrid environments in order to protect their organizations in the event of a data breach. Compliance mandates, internal security audits, data residency issues and threats of hackers are driving the requirements for enterprises to develop a centralized enterprise-wide encryption strategy to prioritize sensitive data protection. In addition, regulations, such as the EU General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR), have dramatically increased pressure on security professional leaders to review and revamp their approach to encryption key management.

To meet these needs, security professionals are using a growing number of encryption tools to protect data within a variety of data storage environments. These may be located within local and external IT environments and systems, such as file stores, databases, big data platforms or various clouds. However, encrypting data in each of these environment results in the creation of islands of encryption and diverse key management platforms which increases complexity, costs and risk of data loss.

In this webinar, you will:
• Gain insight into trends that are driving the digital cloud transformation and how key management plays a role
• Understand the importance of developing a centralized approach to encryption key management
• Examine where and when you should encrypt your organization’s data and typical key management use cases
• Learn how to implement an enterprise-wide key management operational model that can reduce cost of ownership and minimize overall risks

Amazon, eBay, Alibaba, Black Friday, Cyber Monday amongst others are all fuelled by online credit card payments. Even traditional bricks and mortar businesses accept card payments through point-of-sale devices, online or via applications on mobile devices. This trend is only going to grow as the world move towards a cashless society.

With the same motivation as criminals stealing cash, in the digital age cyber criminals are now stealing personal financial information from payment card transactions and payment processing systems.

The PCI Security Standards Council (PCI SSC) offers a set of standards and supporting materials to enhance credit card security. For retailers, financial institutions, payment processors, and a range of other organizations that store, process and/or transmit credit card data, and the service providers that enable their businesses, compliance with the relevant the PCI standards (e.g. PCI PTS, PCI DSS, PCI PIN, PCI P2PE, PCI 3DS) is critical to ensure the safe handling of credit card information at every step.

This webinar will discuss and provide helpful and practical information on:

•The overview of PCI standards and how they apply to businesses
•Encryption and key management requirements in PCI and how to comply with focus on PCI DSS, PCI PIN, PCI P2PE and PCI 3DS
•How to secure sensitive cardholder data & meet the critical challenges of complying with PCI standards

Up until now, PKI hardware’s limitations meant companies could not adopt cloud and mobility projects without having to completely ‘rip and replace’ their current security framework. As a result, companies have been using smart cards and tokens to allow their employees to authenticate themselves while accessing corporate resources, but this was limited to activity within the enterprise perimeter. In addition, companies that use PKI credentials for email encryption and digital signing have also been limited to on-premises environments.

In this webinar, you will learn about how organizations can deploy SafeNet Trusted Access and benefit from single sign on (SSO) and high assurance PKI-based authentication, making it easier and more secure to access cloud and web-based apps and resources from wherever and on any device. Using the solution, employees will no longer have to re-authenticate each time they access a resource with their smart card, enabling more efficiency across the company – while allowing enterprises to maintain high assurance security when needed.

In this webinar you will also learn how to build on current PKI investments, and embrace digital transformation without compromising on security, including:
•Enabling cloud transformation: Organizations can extend PKI credentials to access policies, allowing CISOs to maintain security in the cloud by triggering the use of step up PKI-based authentication to cloud and web-based apps when needed
•Facilitating mobility: Employees can access enterprise applications within virtual environments with their PKI credentials. This means that employees and consultants will be able to access corporate apps via a VDI, from any device and carry out certificate-based transactions, even if they can’t use their smart cards

While the technological and commercial advances of the cloud have created significant opportunities for enterprises, service providers and IT vendors alike, this cloud-driven transformation has also undone conventional approaches to data security and created compliance challenges when it comes to data control and ownership.

These changes have unwittingly drawn us into a realm of increasing threat vectors, poor security practices and bad actors. From reducing cost of ownership to empowering IT decision making across the value chain, it is safe to say that the cloud means that life will never be the same for anyone.

During this webinar we will:
- Look at the challenges facing today's IT and security teams;
- See how this wave of disruption can be overcome using ever advancing automation, processing and intelligence technologies that can be used to build and deliver security an increasingly diverse IT landscape; and
- Look at how security will need to evolve in the wake of digital transformation.

Fintech startup companies are disrupting the financial services industry, raising more than $120 billion over the last three years. Although these new entrants are changing how money and markets operate, they must still do business within the realities of regulations like GDPR and Australia's Notifiable Data Breaches scheme that the rest of the financial industry must operate. This means that data security and trust are just as important to Fintech companies as it is to traditional banks.

Fintech companies are unique because of their agility, lean operations and that most are built using the cloud and digital technologies that banks are just now adopting. While this makes Fintech companies more nimble and they can enter new markets faster, it also presents more complexities for how Fintech companies need to manage security and meet compliance mandates.

In this webinar you will learn about:

•Fintech compliance and regulation from a data protection perspective.
•How to build a secure the breach strategy using a case study from the physical world
•Understand key elements for building cloud-based data security strategy that fits the needs of Fintech companies

Today enterprises and service providers are increasingly using network functions virtualization (NFV) and software-defined networking (SDN) technologies to design, deploy and manage their networks and cloud-based services. These software-based technologies give organizations cost and operational benefits because they move network functions from dedicated hardware appliances to virtual servers. These same technologies can be now be applied to how encryption is deployed and managed to protect sensitive data and communications the flow across SD-WANs.

In this webinar you will learn about:
•What is the best network fit for virtualized encryption
•How to implement a virtual network encryption appliance in software-defined network
•What are the cost, operational and performance benefits of virtual encryption
•What it means to be transport layer independent and how you can protect network traffic simultaneously across Layers 2, 3 and 4

One of the biggest obstacles to IoT adoption is security. Our recent survey found 65% of consumers are concerned about hackers controlling IoT devices and 60% worry about their data being stolen. Recent widespread attacks using IoT device vulnerabilities has also highlighted how interconnected the system is and one weak link creates a ripple effect Securing the identities of both humans and machines, access to the devices and protecting the integrity of the data and device opens the door to more opportunities. For example, the ability to manage blockchain identities and data security policies across any IoT deployment.

In our joint webinar with Device Authority, our experts will outline how security by design methodology helps future proof IoT deployments. They will have an open conversation and a question and answer session on topics that customers are dealing with, related news topics, compliance and government regulations, business opportunities and technologies that are changing the game. Join us to hear more about how using the security by design approach can help:

•Identify and manage risks and challenges in the short and long term
•Prepare for legislation and compliance
•Create new opportunities for a secure blockchain-based IoT
•Leverage new technology like machine learning and analytics

The security challenges of companies large and small is changing. This is especially pronounced in the access management space as IT admins and CISOs are faced with more identities and devices across a growing number of cloud applications. In our recent survey, we found 72% of respondents found cloud access management tools as a solution to reducing the threat of large scale data breaches, while 62% highlighted the tools ability to help simplify the login process for their enterprise users.

In an organization, individuals dealing with security have different goals and objectives. Aligning them can be a challenge. We will look at the priorities of the user, IT teams and CISOs – where they are linked and where they diverge. To build effective risk-based access policies, you need to start with a living IAM strategy that takes into account geolocation, threats, unusual behavior and scenario based data. Using policy-based access management, internally and externally for example in the cloud, is helping enables aligning the different security teams in an organization and automate and simplify the log-in process for users as well. During the webinar attendees will walk away with an understanding of:

With a growing number of cloud apps in use, more employees working remotely increasing the need for stronger authentication. This is driving IT decision makers to find ways to ‘consumerize’ the login process. To get a better understanding of access management challenges and views on the industry Gemalto surveyed 1,000 IT decision makers to compile the 2018 Identity and Access Management Index. During this webinar, we will share some of the fascinating key findings that will shape cybersecurity and the way enterprise IT professionals evaluate and implement access management technology. Join us to learn more about:

•2018 key findings and trends
•How consumerization of IAM can be achieve in the enterprise security space
•How organizations can maintain security while lowering barriers to authentication
•Evolution of IAM Trends: A look at the historical numbers compared to the new findings

95% of companies have adopted cloud services but the 2018 Global Cloud Data Security Survey found there is a wide gap in the level of security precautions applied by companies in different markets. Organizations admitted that on average, only two-fifths (40%) of the data stored in the cloud is secured with encryption and key management solutions. This is disturbing since only a quarter (25%) of IT and IT security practitioners revealed they are very confident they know all the cloud services their business is using,

The reality is cloud creates challenges in knowing where your data resides and what or who has access to it. In 2018, breaches like Uber and Accenture occurred because of improperly configured security for web and cloud applications that were connected to a company’s network. A major catalyst to address this is upcoming regulations and compliance, which are trying to catch up with cloud adoption. Over the next few years, companies will be faced with more complicated and intricate auditing to demonstrate security and privacy best efforts in the cloud.

During this webinar, Larry Ponemon, Chairman and Founder of the Ponemon Institute, and Jason Hart, CTO of Data Protection, will walk attendees through the research methodology, key findings and how things have changed over the past couple of years. Join us to learn more about:
-2018 Global Cloud Data Security Findings
-Compliance and cloud security: How will this work?
-A shift in the budget: Where is IT spending their money?
-Country breakdown of IT cloud security: Who is doing the best?
-What can you do to secure the cloud and comply with regulations?

Organizations with Microsoft environments, such as Azure or Office 365, are inclined to implement Microsoft’s native access management solutions (namely, Azure AD and AD FS). Defaulting to Microsoft’s cloud SSO solutions may appear to be the best choice, a closer examination of these solutions reveals critical downsides, as well.

Join this webinar to learn the five things to consider before implementing Microsoft’s access management solutions. You will also see a demo of how you can centrally define access management policies (including cloud SSO and step-up authentication) for Microsoft and 3rd party apps with a vendor agnostic-solution.

Join us for a new webinar in our series focused on helping companies prepare for the upcoming global government regulations, like European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR). Data sovereignty, especially for cloud-first companies, is becoming an important part of any security strategy as these data breach regulations go into effect next year. Being able to demonstrate best efforts to protect the privacy of an individual’s data will be a requirement and non-compliance will have hefty monetary ramifications.

This webinar will walk attendees through what Gemalto has already done and is doing to prepare for data privacy regulations from product management to sales operations and more. Our Director of Global Data Privacy, Jean-Pierre Mistral, will share how and what we have done, takeaways and timelines and Alex Hanway, Product Marketing, will cover the different technologies companies can use to mitigate the risk of non-compliance and what this means for business operations globally.

Join us to hear more about:
•What is GDPR?
•Case Study: A look at how Gemalto has prepared for GDPR
•The implications for local businesses and technologies that can help mitigate risk around complying with data privacy regulations
